Don't take it personal crosbydog, frequently the top coaches at any academy are slammed full and can't take any "outside" lessons. At ours, there are plenty of active academy players waiting for one of those spots if it opens. A new kid might sneak in to a spot, but that is only cause of an inside referral from a friend, fellow coach or USTA kind of thing. At an academy it can be good business to take care of the players that show loyalty to the program, they tend to be spending consistent money there, just how it is.
